Background Information
The Land of Nipigon Chamber of Commerce was established in May of 1988. People in business in Nipigon and the surounding area recognized the need to develop a collective voice of business. As a region consisting of many business stakeholders, they could work together to help sustain existing business, assist in development of new business and help promote the area while making the communities known for their friendly atmosphere and ethical business practices. The committee was then incorporated as a non profit, non charitable organization and continue to serve the areas of Beardmore, Dorion, Hurkett, Lake Helen, Macdiarmid, Nipigon and Red Rock. Currently, the Land of Nipigon Chamber of Commerce has directors from each community. This allows all communities a voice regarding the business of the Chamber. The Land of Nipigon Chamber of Commerce, as well as its entire membership, is an active member of the Northern Ontario Associated Chambers of Commerce (NOACC) and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce. This gives our businesses an opportunity to lobby for the businesses amd communities on both the provincial and federal level. The main objective of the Chamber is to support the businesses in our communities by providing a fourm where the business people can address their concerns. We are also the sponsoring agent for programs in our communities that work to benefit local businesses.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Land of Nipigon Chamber of Commerce is to serve its members to act as the collective voice of business, industry and the professions; to maintain and strengthen a prosperous business climate within its region, and to enhance the quality of life in the communities of Beardmore, Dorion, Hurkett, Lake Helen, MacDiarmid, Nipigon and Red Rock.
